Old Reviews Mixing nutrient lines?

[Mainemedical]

I just got some protekt in the mail and I wanna give it to my girls that are flowering but I'm unsure if I can combine this with my advanced nutrients line. I assume it will be okay because I have ph perfect but I just wanna make sure it won't hurt. Any advise is greatly appreciated

Give us some more info on that protekt. what nutes and what numbers.Is it organic?

It's not organic the npk is 0-0-3 and it is 7.8% silicon

Iv used pro tekt in the past and it is fine to use with the an nutrients.with the pro tekt you have to use it first in your nutrient mix,and it will raise the ph to,once you add the an nutes it will bring the ph back down but you may have to ad some ph down.its also very concentrated so start at 1/4 strength mate and use at every other feed or once a week up until you flush.silicon will strengthen the cell walls and helps the plant build up a resistance to certain thing.

If it's not organic it might through your ph off ,so better watch that.Thats a pretty small potassium number so I don't know how well it will work. Doesn't your ph perfect have a good flower nute?What is silicon and what does that do?

 

[Mainemedical]

I do have good flowering nutes. The silicon protects the plants from stress caused by heat and drought and keeps insects away. I mainly got it for outdoor growing but it says it strengthens your plants and increases yield

Will I need to adjust ph even though my ph perfect has cleared nutrients? I thought they made nutrients available between like 5-8 ph

Follow Red Eyes advice and go ahead and use it,sounds good to me.:smokebuds:

Yes id adjust the ph of the nutes mate.start with pro tekt and stir,then base nutes and stir,then any additives etc and stir.check the ph and if its out get it down into range bud.if your ph is on point you know its not gonna be an issue :group:

Can you alternate waterings or only give it once a week? If I were watering with a silicon product, I would alternate waterings with my nutes, adjusting the silicon water to wherever silicon is most bioavailable (look it up on a chart). Then with the nutes, 5.8 (I'm in coco).
